73.4 GB 10K Ultra-320 SCSI Drive
This 3.5-inch internal hard drive delivers 73.4 GB of storage on a 10,000 RPM spindle with an 8 MB buffer. It connects through a 3.5" SCSI Ultra-320 80-pin interface and ships new with an IBM system caddy for direct mounting in compatible bays.
Servers needing a direct 80-pin U320 replacement
The drive suits administrators replacing a failed disk in an existing Ultra-320 backplane or expanding an array that still uses 80-pin SCSI. Systems without an 80-pin SCSI backplane, or workloads demanding larger single volumes, cannot use this unit.
Ultra-320 80-pin interface requirement
The single specification that decides fit is the 3.5" SCSI Ultra-320 80-pin connector; the host must provide that exact electrical and mechanical interface for the drive to function.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 90P1309, 90P1305 or 26K5152 part number for my server?
All three part numbers refer to the same MAW3073NC drive with 73.4GB capacity, 10000RPM speed and 8MB cache; pick the one that matches your system's service documentation.
What does the 10000RPM rating deliver in a live system?
The 10000RPM spindle reduces average latency and sustains higher sequential throughput for database or transaction workloads compared to slower desktop drives.
How fast can the Ultra-320 80-pin SCSI interface actually move data?
The Ultra-320 interface caps burst transfers at 320MB/s; real-world sustained rates depend on the 10000RPM mechanics and 8MB buffer.
